Reaction of 4‐chloro‐2‐methyl‐5‐(1‐methylhydrazino)‐3(2H)‐pyridazinone (1) with carbon disulfide followed by alkylation yielded 2‐alkylthio‐4H‐pyridazino[4,5‐e][1,3,4]thiadiazine derivatives 2. Oxidative cyclization of 5‐(4‐substituted 1‐methylthiosemicarbazido)‐3(2H)‐pyridazinone derivatives 4 with N‐bromosuccinimide also gave 2‐substituted amino‐4H‐pyridazino[4,5‐e][1,3,4]thiadiazine derivatives 5. Heating of 2 and 5 resulted in ring contraction to afford the corresponding pyrazolo[3,4‐d]pyridazine derivatives 6, 7 via sulfur extrusion. A possible mechanism for the desulfurization reaction is discussed, comparing with a structural difference between a type of pyridazino[4,5‐e][1,3,4]thiadiazine (2,5) and another one (9,11,13,15).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
